"In a move that has raised eyebrows, Microsoft has submitted a patch to the WebKit project to extend the open source rendering engine with a prototype implementation of the Pointer Events specification that the company is also working on together with Google, Mozilla, and Opera. WebKit is the rendering engine used in Apple's Safari and Google's Chrome browsers, making Microsoft's work a contribution to products that are in direct competition to its own."

Confirmed. People still tend to get a different picture when looking only at the northern american market or at companies that focus there browser-stats mainly on that market. Reality is, that IE lost huge last years and today its a WebKit and Firefox world.

IE is not even available for most of the today's computer devices sold with Android and iOS. IE is Windows only and the relevance of Windows continues to shrink faster and faster.
